Any fall-planted perennials need to be carefully watered until the ground freezes, to keep their roots strong & healthy. Take care not to
overwater, but ensure that the plants get at least 1 inch of water once a week.

In
fall the soil is warm, hence the roots grow faster. Since these plants don’t
produce flowers, they have more energy for sending vigorous roots into the soil of
their new home.

Planting new perennials in good soil with thorough optimal watering
will make sure that by the time the next growing season rolls around, they’ll
be healthy & settled.

4. Put Them to Bed!

It is quite advisable to wait until the soil freezes hard, and then spread a few inches of mulch
around your perennials- not to prevent the soil from freezing, but to keep it
from thawing. Roots which aren’t strongly anchored can “frost heave” out
of the soil when the ground freezes & thaws, making the plant very vulnerable
to the cold. Once the mulch is on, this problem does not endanger the garden.
Even if a few of your new perennials don’t make it, you still have many more to
bank upon.

5. Go for evergreen perennials

For year-round soothing aesthetics that make your garden shine, evergreens are an unbeatable option. Never bald, patchy or brown, they simply radiate a healthy green glow, whatever the weather be. A BIG added plus is their resilience: they are hardy, so a quick
prune is all they'll need. Easy breezy, eh?

If planted early in autumn, the perennials flourish faster in spring & summer. This simply means that you can spot the blank patches in
your landscape well in time, which you can fill out with spring plants and load
your garden with colorful vibrancy.
